The oversized front lawn tree-lined grounds create an immediate sense of privacy and retreat. Inside, the living room is bright and inviting, anchored by a brick wood-burning fireplace and a picturesque bay window framing views of the backyard's greenery. Rich red-oak hardwood floors flow throughout the main level and into the elegant dining room, where hand-painted chinoiserie wallpaper and a vintage crystal chandelier set a refined tone for entertaining. The kitchen retains wonderful period character, with a whimsical floral wall-papered ceiling, offering a fantastic opportunity to update finishes to today's taste while preserving the home's storybook charm. A knotty pine-paneled study or den offers built-in bookshelves and a second bay window overlooking the yard ? a cozy spot for a home office or library. A powder room finishes the first floor. Upstairs, are 3 carpeted bedrooms and a vintage tiled bath with sloped ceilings, adding authentic period detail. Breezeway leads to 2-car attached garage. Basement recently waterproofed and foundation strengthened, and whole-home generator installed. Outside, the fully wooded backyard is a private oasis, with a mossy stone retaining wall, ferns, and towering trees offering rare seclusion and a true connection to nature. This is a rare chance to own a home rich with original character and craftsmanship, ready for a new owner to make it their own.
